94 <br /> <br />the Coordinator. <br /> <br /> Mr. Harry Henderson, DAB member, stated that he felt the <br />DAB should have input into the hiring of the Coordinator. <br /> <br /> Rev. Edwards stated that he would have to think further <br />about the issue of who hired and supervised the Coordinator, <br />especially considering constraints on his time. Rev. Edwards <br />also questioned how. the Coordinator would be integrated into <br />the City Manager,s staff if the position was responsible to <br />Council. <br /> <br /> Mr. Vandever recommended that the DAB move forward with <br />its charge, but indicated that he felt it would be a mistake <br />for Council-to try to direct too much of the effort and <br />he would not support the Coordinator being directly <br />responsible to Council. <br /> <br /> It was agreed that the Coordinator position would be <br />advertised, that a panel consisting of five DAB <br />members (Lindley Dupree, Pynke Gohanna-Lyles, Harry <br />Henderson, Michael Hemenway, and Jim Peterson), one Council <br />member, and two members of the City Manager's staff would <br />participate on an interview panel, and Council would make a <br />decision at the December 17th meeting regarding to whom the <br />Coordinator would be responsible. <br /> <br /> It was recommended that a city wide contest be held to <br />develop a slogan for the City's drug effort. <br /> <br />T~4he me~~as adjourned. <br />President ; ~ <br /> <br />COUNCIL CHAMBER - December 3, 1990 <br /> <br /> Council met in regular session on this date with the <br />following members present: Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Toscano, Ms. <br />Waters. Absent: Rev. Edwards and Mr. Vandever. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hendrix called the meeting to order and asked for <br />nominations for a temporary chairperson for the meeting since <br />the Mayor and Vice Mayor were out of town attending the <br />National League of Cities Conference. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Ms. Waters, Ms. <br />Slaughter was elected temporary chairperson. <br /> <br />PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Mr. Jonathan Spivey of 714 Orangedale Avenue, stated <br />that he believed the City was legally liable for correcting <br />the drainage problem in Orangedale, noting that a line from <br />Smith Pool empties into Rock Creek. Mr. Spivey added that he <br />felt the problem was one of public health and safety and was <br />causing significant structural damage. Mr. Spivey stated <br />that the builder has been unwilling to assume responsibility <br />for the problems and requested that the City use the funds <br />which would be made available from a reduction in the general <br />fund balance for 100% City funding of the project. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Waters about whether <br />Orangedale residents have agreed to contribute to the <br />drainage improvements, Mr. Spivey replied that the estimated <br />$2,000 to $7,000 per residence is too costly, especially <br />given the requirement of 100% participation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter recommended putting the matter on the next <br />formal agenda and having staff provide information concerning <br />the original site plan for Orangedale, what erosion controls <br />were included, and what role HUD plays to enable Council to <br />see how the situation could be addressed° ~ <br /> <br /> <br />
